Help for Tardive Dyskinesia; A result of Ritalin

As a child in Kindergarten, I was placed on Ritalin.  Shortly after being placed on this medication, my mother was taking me to the doctor for abnormal facial movements.  The medication was either increased or decreased depending on which visit I went to and the severity of the movements.  I remained on this medication until I was approximately 15 years old, at which time I immediately stopped taking the medication.  Once removed, not only did the movements remain a daily occurrence, they got worse, going from my eyes, to my mouth, to my shoulders.  Now at 39, I have tried numerous medications to help suppress these tics, now being diagnosed with Tardive Dyskinesia, with no success with any medication.  I have eliminated caffeine and any over the counter medications from my life.  Stress really sets the tics in an exaserbated motion to the point that I cannot drive or even focus to work.  Any suggestions would really be appreciated.  The depression caused from this is unbelievable....my marriage and sex life are highly affected by these tics, and as much as I appreciate my husband for his patience and tolerance through all this, it is extremely embarrassing personally and professionally.

I wish I was able to help you with is very distressing symptom but I have never seen a case like this personally.  The best I can do is suggest that you find an expert psychopharmacologist at your nearby university who either has the experience or who knows a colleague who may have the experience.
